“Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen”

If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.

When the devil is called god of this world, it is not because he made it, but because we serve him with our worldiness.

Love follows knowledge.

Fear is such a powerful emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion right out of our hearts.

God has no need for our worship. It is we who need to show gratitude for what we have received.

It is only god who creates. Man merely arranges.

We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship

True peace consists in not separating ourselves from the will of god.

Man cannot live without joy; therefore when he is deprived of true spiritual joys it is necessary that he become addicted to carnal pleasures.

God himself would not permit evil in this world if good did not come of it for the benefit and harmony of the universe.

Faith has to do with things that are not seen, and hope with things that are not in hand.

How is it they live in such harmony, the billions of stars, when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds?

The greatest kindness one can render to any man consists in leading him from error to truth.

Nothing created has ever been able to fill the heart of man. God alone can fill it infinitely.

The soul is uninhabited world that only comes to life when god lays his head against us.

Embrace the feeling of being you. You are existing- and that is extraordinary.

We have to embrace our darkest thoughts to become light again.

Being real is effortless, my child, because it means we’ve embraced exactly who we are.

So I will call upon your Name and keep my eyes above the waves when oceans rise my soul rests in Your embrace.

You have to be relentless in your pursuit. Embrace the pain, embrace the struggle, after all, the most pleasurable things in life often require pain.

When you embrace freedom, you also embrace loneliness.

You gotta embrace every moment that come with life; The Wins & The Losses.

It covers me like the embrace of the sky. Like a closed one bidding goodbye. Like those smeared memories and lyrics of a melancholy song, Home, Home is what I long for.
